Honestly I've been wondering if they should just punt the season.

They've had a hole at the 3 for years, why not just suck and get Ron Holland or something?

I believe it's too early, even if we end up something like 5-20. A 36-21 record would put us even, at playoff zone, a couple win less 33-24 would mean play-in like and i dont think is unreasonable to achieve with Ja and other guys healthy. I understand a pick could be more valuable than a first round exit, but losing culture can do more damages.

I hate this take in the Grizz subreddit.

One bad season will not develop a losing culture, especially with what the Grizz have gone through so far.

Losing and winning cultures are probably more fragile then we realize. You gotta have a lot of trust they can turn it on next year. Ive been a part of some lockerooms that just felt like everyone was drowning but we weren't literal professionals with millions of dollars so what the fuck do I know lol.

Look at when Steph broke his hand. The Warriors tanked, got the 2nd overall pick, and won the title AFTER that. Players are gonna try to win, they're not a bunch of discouraged babies or whatever

Maybe im wrong, but we lost Tyus and Dillon, which were the "veterans" (most experienced) and lead the mindset of the team. I believe JJJ is a bit soft and Ja has his problems and all we need is playing meaningful basketball. And also what should we do once Ja is back, shutting down him again?
